About Melilla
Melilla is an autonomous Spanish city located on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa, bordering Morocco. Its rich history spans Phoenician, Punic, Roman, and Byzantine periods before coming under Spanish control in 1497. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Melilla was the scene of conflict between the Rif Berbers and Spanish forces, with Spain regaining firm control by 1927. The city also played a role in the 1936 rebellion led by General Franco. Today, Melilla is known for its striking ‘Modernisme’ architecture, the Catalan form of Art Nouveau, which flourished during its time as part of the Spanish protectorate. It boasts the second largest collection of Modernist buildings in Spain, after Barcelona. Visitors can explore a unique blend of cultures and history, alongside beautifully preserved architecture that reflects the city’s diverse past.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the ‘Worry-Free Shore Excursion’ on some of the excursions?
Viator’s Worry-Free Shore Excursion policy means that if your tour runs late and you miss your ship, they’ll arrange transport to the next port at no additional cost to you. This offer applies only to shore excursions specifically marked with the ‘Worry-Free’ badge on Viator. When you use FindMyExcursions, we help match you with these eligible tours where available, so you can book with confidence knowing you're covered if unexpected delays occur.

What are the risks of booking with third-party providers?
When you book excursions independently (i.e., outside of the cruise line), you’re responsible for managing your time ashore. If you miss the ship’s departure, the cruise will not wait, and you’ll have to make your own way to the next port.
That’s why FindMyExcursions only features tours that fit within your port timings, with enough buffer to get you back in good time. Many also offer port pick-up/drop-off for added convenience and peace of mind. You get all the flexibility of third-party booking, with smart, cruise-specific filtering built in.
Will I get a refund if the ship doesn’t dock or our itinerary changes?
If your ship is unable to dock or your itinerary changes at short notice, most tour providers on Viator offer a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. However, cancellations within 24 hours usually aren't refundable. We recommend checking each tour’s cancellation policy before booking, as they can vary. Also, having comprehensive cruise travel insurance is key. Some policies may cover missed ports or excursions, but this usually depends on the circumstances and how much notice the cruise line provided. We’re not qualified to offer legal or financial advice so always check the fine print of your policy or speak to your insurer for specifics.
